[5.4] Where is the trans directive?

[yusufyilmaz]

• Laravel Version: 5.4.11
• PHP Version: 7.0.15

Description:

I have been trying to work with new "awesome" json based translations. However, I have come up with an issue which I mentioned here As @taylorotwell suggested using trans directive, but I cannot see trans directive in L5.4 documentation. And When I try to test trans directive in L5.4.11, blade is not picking up the directive, rather it just prints @ trans..... Any suggestion with that?

I can't find a @trans directive here but maybe Taylor meant {{ trans('foo.bar') }}? See here: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.4/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php#L804

@ntzm Thanks for the reply.

As I linked in my PR here, I have attached laravel-news article from here You can see the @trans "directive" at article. I also suggested another PR about "trans helper" which was rejected since "__ helper" is first using json based translations while "trans helper" is not using json based language files.

So now in L5.4 we have different directives and helpers:

@lang directive: This directive is not using json based language files.
@trans directive: There is no such directive in L5.4
trans() helper: This helper is not using json based langauge files.
__() helper: This helper first using json based language. If not exists, it fallbacks to the default keyed language arrays.

It is obvious that there is a need to clarify these localization methods :)
